After wrapping up at the Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna (MAMbo) in Italy where it currently is, it transfers to Tokyo’s TERRADA G1 building in January 2017 before heading to Barcelona’s Museu del Disseny in May.

Co-curator of David Bowie Is, Geoff Marsh, said: ‘We are absolutely delighted that the exhibition has been seen by so many people worldwide.

‘It’s been an amazing journey to go from our first visits to the archive to transporting the exhibition to its ninth venue in Tokyo.’
